I have been playing with my desktop and I've found that I prefer Nimbus Sans L to Arial for my default desktop font. Was going to put it on my "shared" folder so that other people in the house (not all running Linux) could try it if they liked. I can't find it! It doesn't appear to be in usr/share/fonts as you would expect. (I did find the other font that I wanted to share, Inconsolata...) However Nimbus Sans L does appear in the font selection menus for gnome, Oo.o, Firefox, Thunderbird, etc. Is there a way to find where the .ttf is located so that I can share it? It does appear to be properly installed, as it is distinct from the other Helvetica-like fonts that I have.
I cannot find where tomboy notes are located im trying to change from one comp to another, i have already seen the thread that says they are in ~/.tomboy ".note" files but they are no where to be found and neither is that file?
I have Fedora 11, x86_64, fresh install four days ago on newly formatted disk. Gnome desktop.
I have been installing and configuring things, rebooting after every few application installations. I have been rebooting so often because this is the fifth distro that I have tried. In the previous four I ended up lacking a window manager, and in two cases I lost the gnome-panel as well. At first I was blaming the latest version of Gnome, which is why I installed Fedora 11 instead of 12. But yesterday I got bitten by the same bug again. In the present instance only metacity is missing. I can function just fine if I just start metacity from a command line after logging in (which is how I am running at the moment.
Something is making metacity not load after I log in.
In an effort to fix this I created a new user. The new user has the standard Gnome desktop, complete with metacity. So the question is, what does the new user have or not have that is different from my real user?
I was pretty sure the problem was in Gnome, not X, so I started polluting the new user's installation by copying config files from my real installation. I started with .gconf, then .gconfd, then .gnome2. I logged out and back in again after each folder was copied, hoping to track down the offending one.
I finally found it - the ~/.local folder. As soon as I copied my ~/.local folder to the new user the new user lost metacity after logging in.
Of course, before copying one of my folders to the new user I renamed the new user's folder by appending -original to it. I ran diff on the two folders, and there are lots of differences. Mostly the new user doesn't have many application launchers in ~/.local/share/applications/, but I don't think those would make a difference.
I was hoping to find a configuration file where "metacity" is located in the -original file and missing in the new one. So far I have not been successful. Yet for sure *something* in that folder is the culprit. Does anyone have any knowledge of what Gnome does with this folder?

I'm trying to make it possible to see my logfiles on a browser. For instance, I want to browse to [URL] and see a listing of all my logfiles. Because the logfiles reside outside of the web content directory, I'm trying to set up an Alias. Here's how I'm doing it:
Code: Alias /logfiles /path/to/my/logfiles <Directory /path/to/my/logfiles> Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> Then I restart apache /etc/init.d/httpd restart
When I browse to [URL] I get a 404. I've been online all morning looking for a solution and all I find is what I've already done. BTW, this is a RHEL 5 on a LAMP stack.
When in command mode one can come out of the file temporarily by Code: :sh in command mode. When I find myself on the shell on RH 9 the aliases dont work but in RHEL 4 all aliases work like charm. Does anyone know why is it so?
I can make aliases fine by editing the .bashrc file in my home directory, but the first thing I do when I open a terminal window is sudo su so I don't have to type sudo in front of every command. The problem is, I am then not able to use my aliases. How can I make aliases that work after I run the sudo su command?
I have an email alias and I want to capture some items in the email body and put it in a database.
I'm using Linux and Bash. In /etc/aliases I have: bexpense: "|/usr/bin/bexpense"In /usr/bin/bexpense, I have: #!/bin/bash echo $1 $2 >> bexpense.out
If I just run /usr/bin/bexpense with as "bexpense test test" I get "test test" in bexpense.out. If I send email to bexpense@myserver.com, I get a blank line in bexpense.out. How do I get the subject and body of the email?
For example if you want to create an alias in Linux with a message echoed into the variable would the following command be; alias hello="(echo)"Hello." "? I'm trying to learn some environment variables and aliases.
But these binaries (a,b,..etc) are in a different sub directory from where the above file is located. How do I write a script that will pick up each line from the file and execute it.
this i am sure is a very newbie question i have been using linux for a while now Fedora 14 and am still stuck on one issue even though i have trolled the internet for hours. i want to install the 7300 gs driver however when i go to terminal and type: sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.12.run i get the error you must be root. so simple i type su --login add my password then when typing the run command i get the error that the file is not located in root and can not run. so my question is how do i do it. if i cd to home i loose root permissions if i try sudo sh file.run i get the error it is not one of the sudoes.
I have stuffed up my system and I want to remove Glib 2.20 and Glib 2.26. How can I do this? Where are the files located? Sadly, there does not seem to be a make uninstall file for Glib.
I know I can use the log file viewer to look at the logs; however, I was hoping someone can tell me exactly which folder contains the log files so I can view these files directly.
suppose i have two file with same name fstab one file is located in /etc and the other is located in /root/ If i make a change in /etc/fstab file the changes has to reflect in /root/fstab . Is there any command to do this?
I am trying to install ndiswrapper, and have gotten as far as extracting the .gz file. However, when I type in the "make" command, it returns the error message:
Cannot find kernel version in /usr/src/linux-2.6.21.5, is it configured? Stop.
I do not have anything in the folder /usr/src, so I don't know where it might be. I'd like to install this, so it will make my switch to Linux easier.
I reinstalled ubuntu linux and lost some mySQL database files that were located in the /var/lib/mysql/ folder. I need to recover them ASAP. How do i go about it. Is it possible to recover .frm, .myb files using scalpel. Is there an alternate software I could use?
Is it possible to locate the Firefox file that retains "Search" history (not particularly "Browser" history)?I have lost a hardcopy list of authors and titles of books/ebooks that I search the web for. However, most of the time when I would enter a name or title a drop down list would have that entry I wanted, and I could just click on it. That drop down list is what I am calling "Search" history.
I need to check with nagios an oracle database that is located on a server. There are a lot of plugins that are provided, the problem is that the database is located on a remote server (i have an hostaddress) and then i need to log on the database (i have username and pass)So i only need to have a plugin that connects to that hostaddress and logs on, but i can't find any plugin which does that
I have two servers. One of them has a svn server running and another hosting projects.
I have a daily cronjob updating the projects -- ie running svn update, rebuild etc.
Now, my cronjob on the remote server works. However, a similar cronjob running on the local server for local projects (ie the same server as svn) is instead displaying a "svn: not working copy".
I double checked the paths, permissions and user info and if the script is launched manually, it works fine. Deploying the same thing remotely works.
I even tried using file:/// (suggested here http://www.hightekhosting.com.au/myaccount/knowledgebase/90/Using-SubversionorSVN-on-cPanel-Servers.html) but still nothing.
lets say I have a project that have generated lots of xml files. Though all these xml files point to a location with the text name TEXT15. I want to change all the files that containts TEXT15 and change it to TEXT16. This actually works for files in a folder but not recursively in all the entire files....perl -pi -c 's/TEXT15/TEXT16/g' ./* but I have many subfolders and within this more subsub folders....i just want to do this recursively.
I'd like to make all window of of all applications are located in the center of screen when they are started every single time, is there any way to do that ? of course,what i am saying that they are GUI apps, and when they are not started as maximum size window
I'd like to use a webmin to execute scripts as the picture. When I press "Stop friendly" button, it will execute the script that is located at /home/kenzo/stopfriendly.sh or it will execute /home/kenzo/stopserver.sh when I press "Stop" button.
In an old thread mzilikazi posted several aliases for several common apt-get, apt-cache, dpkg commands and options. I thought this was a great idea and adopted my own list. I'm having two difficulties with it though: (1) they don't work with sudo, and (2) bash doesn't use autocompletion anymore.
1. sudo I've placed the aliases in the .bashrc profiles of my user and of root, and logged back in. As root the aliases work. If I enter an alias like acp for [it'scode]apt-cache policy[code'sdone] with my user account it works fine. Sweet sudo, however, apparently doesn't support bash aliases. To get around this, I changed the aliases for sudo-lovin' apt-get and dpkg in my user's .bashrc from [code!]alias agi="apt-get install"[!edoc] to [code!]alias agi="sudo apt-get install"[nocode]. Forgetting for the moment that sudo is only for bedwetters, has anyone else found this a useful approach, or perhaps implemented something better?
2. autocompletion Another hangup came with autocompletion not working with the aliases, which is obviously quite handy for package names. A google I once knew told me a thing or two about that. I don't get down with funky-chunky foreign web scripts I can't interpret... which so far is all of them... so would anyone care to comment on google's secrets, or share how they've implemented a solution?
